Gets off in area with illuminations (7)
I believe the answer is:
alights
'gets off' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'area with illuminations' is the wordplay.
'area' becomes 'a' (maths abbreviation).
'with' says to put letters next to each other.
'illuminations' becomes 'lights' (light is a kind of illumination).
'a'+'lights'='ALIGHTS'
'in' is the link.
(Other definitions for alights that I've seen before include "Touches down" , "Comes to land" , "Lands" , "Settles" , "Gets down from, bus or train" .)
